1 Coumarin (1,2-benzopyrone) is a colorless crystalline solid with a sweet odor resembling the scent of vanilla and a bitter taste. Coumarin is most often used as a fragrance ingredient, where it functions as a fragrance, as a fragrance enhancer, and as a stabilizer. Coumarin is widely used in perfumes, hand soaps, detergents, and lotions at concentrations from 0.01 to 2.4%. It is used to give pleasant aromas to household products or to mask unpleasant odors. Due to its recognizable sharp, sweet flavor, and its possibility to boost vanilla flavor, coumarin has also been used in the production of artificial vanilla extracts.
